2. Small blurb about the book. Of all the hotel rooms rented by all the adulterous politicians in Chicago, female Assistant U.S. Attorney Cameron Lynde had to choose the one next to 1308, where some hot-and-heavy lovemaking ends with a death. And of all the FBI agents in Illinois, it had to be Special Agent Jack Pallas who gets assigned to this high-profile homicide. The same Jack Pallas who still blames Cameron for a botched crackdown three years ago-and for nearly ruining his career.
3. Why this book is awesome. Hands down, this series is my favorite contemporary romance I've read. Julie James creates fun/funny stories about interesting characters (especially heroines) who are career driven but are so much more than just really good at their jobs. That and great relationships - romantic and otherwise - along with the use of Chicago as the setting make for a combination that I have yet to beat.

2. Small blurb about the book. In Caverna, lies are an art - and everyone's an artist...
In the underground city of Caverna the world's most skilled craftsmen toil in the darkness to create delicacies beyond compare. They create wines that can remove memories, cheeses that can make you hallucinate and perfumes that convince you to trust the wearer even as they slit your throat. The people of Caverna are more ordinary, but for one thing: their faces are as blank as untouched snow. Expressions must be learned. Only the famous Facesmiths can teach a person to show (or fake) joy, despair or fear - at a price. Into this dark and distrustful world comes Neverfell, a little girl with no memory of her past and a face so terrifying to those around her that she must wear a mask at all times. For Neverfell's emotions are as obvious on her face as those of the most skilled Facesmiths, though entirely genuine. And that makes her very dangerous indeed...

2. Small blurb about the book.
Amazon summary:
Cassel comes from a shady, magical family of con artists and grifters. He doesn’t fit in at home or at school, so he’s used to feeling like an outsider. He’s also used to feeling guilty-he killed his best friend, Lila, years ago.
But when Cassel begins to have strange dreams about a white cat, and people around him are losing their memories, he starts to wonder what really happened to Lila. In his search for answers, he discovers a wicked plot for power that seems certain to succeed. But Cassel has other ideas-and a plan to con the conmen.
3. Why this book is awesome.Cassel has a fantastically entertaining internal voice; snarky and guilt-stricken and the story moves at a very fast pace, the female lead (I don't want to say more) is fierce and determined and damaged and violence (especially in the sequels, which you will want to read after reading this book. The world-build is consistent and interesting and there are some great secondary ( ... )
